Tucson, AZ: Gaby Giffords (D-AZ) skipped her own event to avoid the 300 constituents who came out to see her…reminds me of someone who would not debate at the end of the Dem primaries….Bock Bock Bawack Gaby..How can they ask for our votes if they will not come to speak to us at their own events? They are so clearly completely out of step with most of the American people…methinks they spend too much time in their DC elite bubble surrounded by the DC media handmaidens of TOTUS….reminder Congress Critters, we are the ones who vote, we are the ones you are sent to DC to represent, therefore it is we, the people, (sounds familiar…) whose voices you need to hear….

On August 6 at 7 p.m., Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) hosted an outdoor movie night at La Placita Cinema downtown. However, because she has been hiding from her constituents and has so far refused to hold a townhall regarding the healthcare bill, we all figured it would be a good idea to show up and let her know how unhappy we are with the bill.

She was supposed to show up for the movie event — it’s her event, after all! — but then told a Fox 11 reporter that she was not going to attend because she feared the protesters would “disrupt the movie”…Then, on the Fox 11 broadcast that night (video here), she accused the Tucson Tea Party of misrepresenting the event as a town hall and said she never intended to go to the event at all!…

Timothy Geithner asked Congress to increase the $12.1 trillion debt limit on Friday, saying it is “critically important” that they act in the next two months…….Mr. Geithner, in a letter to U.S. lawmakers, said that the Treasury projects that the current debt limit could be reached as early mid-October. Increasing the limit is important to instilling confidence in global investors, Mr. Geithner said….

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said Thursday the federal government’s budget deficit reached $1.3 trillion through the first ten months of fiscal 2009, on track to reach a record high of $1.8 trillion for the 12-month period….

We URGENTLY need to have more debt?! They simply MUST have this massive spending plan NOW? They MUST raise our state income taxes now, city, municipal, county, property, sales tax…Taxes to fund this will come and they will kill growth. We must have growth to get out of this debt, Therefore we must not pass this plan right now. Why so confused Congress?

The interest rate we are paying on the debt we are issuing has doubled in the past few months. It will only go higher, the spending must stop or at leastnot rise astronomically which is what this administration is doing. We were promised transparency and line by line budget analysis. Not unread bills written by lobbyists in the dead of night with passages added no Congressperson will claim….

How is this even making it onto the table right now? In the primaries Obama said he was moderate (HA HA!) and consistently maintained he would never raise taxes in a recession, ha ha!! He said everyone KNOWS that would be counterproductive to growth. So what happened?

We will not be growing at 5% GDP in two years (see PIMCO who calls 1-2% GDP the ‘new normal’) and if they pass this health care bill, they will HAVE to raise taxes within that time frame …so why are they doing this? The 14 million or so involuntarily uninsured have full access to ERs and walk in clinics and we just expanded SCHIP. We need to grow jobs right now not entitlements and government spending.

The American people are massively tightening and cutting back. We expect DC to do the same. Don’t pixx on our heads and tell us it’s raining. This deficit is unsustainable without the health care plan added on…you cannot get blood from a stone..we have lost our 401ks, IRAs, jobs, housing equity, lines of credit. Good Gracious Congress Critters how can you not understand why we DO NOT WANT THIS PLAN. We know it will lose money like a damned sieve, it is a VEHICLE TO ADD SEIU JOBS IN ALLIED HEALTH…WE DO NOT WANT CARE TAKEN FROM OUR SENIORS TO PAD UNION ROLLS ……STOP SPENDING WHAT WE DO NOT HAVE…/rant off
